We have decided to hold the meeting in a 5 star hotel, the Rio Othon Palace Hotel, located in Copacabana Beach, Rio de Janeiro (www.othon.com.br) from February 21 to 23, 2006. The Rio Othon Palace Hotel was the location of the Brazilian Medical Physics Congress held in October 2001 and more recently the 1 st International Workshop in Photodynamic Therapy
(see Previous Experience of the Organizers http://www.ecu.edu/radiationoncology/workshops.htm).

The budget has been prepared using the Othon Palace Hotel as the meeting location. The hotel is capable of handling a meeting with 600 participants.
